The Brit, who appeared on US reality series Prison Brides, met her husband Curtis back in 2021, through a prisoner pen pal service.
Emma became interested in Curtis' story, as he was serving seven years in prison for carjacking, which she thought was a lengthy sentence given that in the UK, the maximum jail term for this kind of crime is two years.
However, romance soon blossomed between the pair, and they began to regularly chat on the phone.
After eight months, Emma jetted off the US to finally meet her man, and set herself boundaries, such as to not send Curtis any money.
As their relationship continued to grow, Emma became increasingly proud of Curt, and decided to share their relationship on the Prison Brides' TV show.
"Curt could not read or write when he went to prison, and now he's got a Master's degree in business," she told the Tamron Hall show.
"I'm not proud of his situation, but I'm extremely proud of the man he's become."
Keen to make their relationship work, Emma moved across the Atlantic to be with Curt, and the couple even tied the knot behind bars.
After four long years of waiting, Curt was finally released from prison, and Emma was ecstatic to start their life together.
However, just weeks after being released, her husband cheated on her with another woman, whom he got pregnant.
I'm a prison wife
Emma was bowled over by the betrayal and was even more shocked when her husband got sent straight back to prison again after just six months.
The dark-haired beauty, who got her beau's name tattooed on her hand said that she regrets a lot of her life decisions, and dated the person she thought she deserved.
However, she has not let the traumatic experience get to her, and has now relocated back to the UK to start a new life.
"I'm living life for me and it feels so good," she said in a recent TikTok video.

Lesley Riddoch launches crowdfunder for Finland documentary

The film has already secured funding of £5000, with Riddoch hoping to raise the final £8000 to make the project a reality. Finland has been ranked the world's happiest country for eight years in a row, with Riddoch and young Scots filmmaker Gavin Hanigan, who is based in Helsinki, hoping to look at the parallels the country has with Scotland. Riddoch has previously made documentaries about Norway, Faroes, Iceland, Estonia and Denmark. READ MORE: UK providing 'political cover' for US and Israel after Iran attack The Denmark documentary now has 1.7 million views online. The documentary would be made available on YouTube. Within just a few days of being live, the crowdfunder has raised just over £750. In the crowdfunder, Riddoch explains: 'Do we know enough about the world's most successful societies? I don't think so. 'The Nordics are the happiest, most sustainable, most equal, democratic, literate societies on earth, yet remain remarkable mostly for their high beer prices. What a travesty. (Image: Lesley Riddoch) 'So, I've spent more than a decade running the policy group Nordic Horizons, writing book and paper articles, making podcasts and films to let countries in the doldrums (like the UK) see how we might get onto a Nordic path.' She adds that there are 'huge parallels' between Scotland and Finland. 'Finland quietly excels in education - something Scotland was once renowned for,' Riddoch wrote. 'The Finns like the Scots sometimes lack confidence, but their way of life is more equal, digital, cooperative, equal and relaxed than almost anywhere else on earth. Scotland rightly prides itself on having the lowest levels of child poverty in the UK at 22 per cent – the figure in Finland is 3.7 per cent.' READ MORE: Douglas Alexander refuses to set out route to Scottish independence Riddoch adds: 'So in the dog-eat-dog, adversarial days of Donald Trump, I'd guess the world might want to know more about the happy, equal, educated and slightly awkward Finns. 'This documentary is already part funded. If we can raise another £8000 we can make it happen, start filming in September 2025, show the film around Scotland and put it online for everyone by Christmas with gigs around Scotland if Yes groups fancy.' Riddoch told The National: 'The current situation with Russia highlights Finland's enduring problem of having to coexist with an occasionally belligerent, acquisitive former colonial power as the nearest neighbour. 'Anyone who has read the history of Finnish resistance during World War II will realise that a country with half its population volunteering to join an army that became the only one to ever repel the Red Army, will be no pushover. 'Today Finns like Gavin live with bunkers in the cellars of their houses and grab bags ready at the instruction of their government in case of attack. 'And yet their lives are relaxed, orderly, and chilled.' Those who choose to donate to the crowdfunder can get an early access film preview link and other benefits.

Fury as woke council ‘bans fun' by scrapping popular airshow despite it making £60 MILLION for local economy

NO FUN ZONE Fury as woke council 'bans fun' by scrapping popular airshow despite it making £60 MILLION for local economy Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOKE council blamed climate change as it axed a popular air show despite it making £60million for the local economy. The four-day Bournemouth Air Festival, featuring the Red Arrows, has run for 16 years and attracts 600,000 fans.

Bosses at the Lib Dem-run council, which has just hired a new chief executive on a salary of £220,000, are accused of being killjoys and lacking ambition. Conservative councillor Phil Broadhead said: 'Saying we don't like planes, therefore we should ban the air festival for the sake of three or four days that brings millions to the local economy is a step too far. 'On that note, we shouldn't be doing anything that generates any carbon whatsoever. 'What we are doing is banning fun.' Bournemouth Area Hospitality Association chairwoman Rosie Radwell said: 'It is a great shame because the air festival was a big boost for Bournemouth. 'It is a huge loss to the area. 'I don't think tourism is the top priority for this council.' Asked about its impact on the climate she said: 'I don't think it was as bad as they said. 'And I don't think it's as bad as they say.'

Brit caught in Iran's revenge strike in Israel says she was buoyed by her ‘blitz spirit'

Nicola - who grew up in Mill Hill, North London but now lives in the Ramat Aviv suburb 10 miles north of the city centre - said: 'I've heard blast before in recent days but nothing like this. 'There was an enormous boom followed by a rush of air and we knew this was big and very close. 'But I'm British and my grandfather was a volunteer ambulance driver in the London blitz - so I strangely didn't feel as afraid as everyone else. 'It was against all advice but I, kind of, crawled out of my hole and found myself heading straight for the site of the explosion. 'It's strange but it really did feel like the blitz - what my grandfather had braved in London, I was now experiencing in Tel Aviv.' A five storey block 600 metres from Nicola's home was devastated at 8am yesterday by an enormous Iranian missile strike. Bedding, clothes and belongings hung from the blown out shell of a block with other buildings blackened, cars wrecked and glass and debris strewn across the neighbourhood. The Sun's team took cover in a hotel shelter at 7.30am yesterday when sirens and alerts signalled the first revenge attack after Operation Midnight Hammer. Walls of our shelter in the city centre hotel shook violently as a series of explosions ripped through the air above. Wounded Iran immediately lashes out at Israel launching volleys of ballistic missiles causing 'large-scale destruction' Ramat Aviv took the biggest hit of the attack in the bustling coastal city as families across the country cowered bomb shelters. Gran-of-three Shevi Lahav - an 84-year-old holocaust survivor - told The Sun: 'I live on the fourth floor of a nine story block but don't know if I have a home to go back to now. 'I fled from the Nazis in Russian for two years in World War II and it's hard to believe I'm being attacked again. 'I was in the shelter but god knows what would have happened to me if I hadn't reached the shelter. 'But we won't give in - we didn't give in then and we won't give in now.' 5 Tel Aviv residents shelter in a hotel bunker as Iranian missiles hit the Israeli city Credit: Doug Seeburg
